At the top of the webinar, Nik Nanos will present the latest findings from the Arts Response Tracking Survey (ARTS), offering new insights into participation, audience motivations, and perceptions of arts and culture events across Canada.
The session will explore what drives Canadians to attend arts and culture events, how cultural experiences can strengthen connection and pride in communities across Canada, and what barriers may prevent audiences from feeling welcome.
Join us as arts and culture leaders reflect on the findings and discuss how organizations can strengthen audience connection as we head into summer and peak season across the country.
